Step-by-step instructions for applying "Ruby Red + Champagne Gold" Dipping Powder

Materials:

• Sapphire Black Dipping Powder
• Champagne Gold Dipping Powder
• Crystal Clear Dipping Powder
• Base coat
• Activator
• Top coat
• Nail file and buffer
• Dusting brush or soft brush

Preparation

File your nails into the desired shape and gently push back your cuticles.

For optimal adhesion, lightly roughen/match the natural nails with a buffer block or the fine side of a file, before application.

Be sure to remove invisible cuticle and skin debris as well, to avoid lifting.

Do not apply oils or creams before use.

Step 1: Base coat

Apply a thin layer of Base Coat. The first coat should be quick and does not need to be too precise. Be careful not to paint the cuticles, as this can cause air bubbles under the nails and affect adhesion.

Next, immediately dip your finger gently, at a 45-degree angle, into the color powder "Sapphire Black," or "Champagne Gold," and tap off the excess powder. Then remove the excess powder by lightly brushing over the surface. Repeat the process on the rest of your nails. Paint one nail at a time and then dip directly into the powder before starting the next nail.

Apply a thin layer of base coat to one nail. Be sure to cover the edges well, but do not touch the skin around the nail.

Step 2: Base Coat & Color Powder

Repeat step 1 for optimal coverage, adhesion and beautiful and stunning color intensity.

Step 3: Design

Use the Activator Coat to create a design on the nail surface. Dip half of the upper nail in the color dipping powder "Sapphire Black" and the other half in the color dipping powder "Champagne Gold." Pour over the dipping powder color "Crystal Clear" in the middle of the design.

Step 4: Filing & Polishing

Now you can use the fine side of the file or a buffer to buff away all bumps and imperfections and bring the nails to the desired shape and thickness. It is important to file carefully so that you do not damage the surface and nails.

Step 5: Activator Coat

Again, apply enough Activator Coat to the entire nail and its perimeter to seal the layers optimally. Then allow the Activator Coat to dry for at least two minutes. To make sure the Activator Coat is dry, you can clean the surface of the nail with a paper towel after 2 minutes. This is to prevent the Top Coat from curing due to contamination.

Allow 2-3 minutes of waiting time between Top Coat and Activator Coat.

Step 6: Top Coat

Apply a thin layer of Top Coat evenly with 2-3 quick strokes and allow it to dry for at least two minutes.

Step 7: Top Coat

Repeat step 6. Apply a second, thin coat of Top Coat to the nails. Then let this dry for 2-3 minutes.

And voila! With these simple steps, you will create beautiful, long-lasting nails with the 'Sapphire Black + Champagne Gold + Crystal Clear' dipping powder. Have fun with your beautiful nails!
